The Saudi plan to tame Vlad with inexpensive oil has not worked, but Vlad does have fewer resources to send to Syria because of it. Vlad has completely changed the situation in Syria. Before Russia intervened, Sunni forces were advancing on Assad's Shia positions. Now Sunni forces are in disarray, and Iran is sending Shia ground forces to help Russia reinforce Assad's forces.
and what does that have to do with the price of gold going up?
